At Agritechnica, Danfoss Energy Options has launched its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electrical motor.
The 48-volt synchronous reluctance assisted everlasting magnet (SRPM) motor is designed to drive a hydraulic gear pump in compact electrical equipment, powering the machine’s work capabilities.
The PMI180 motor encompasses a compact, strong design delivering excessive energy density and effectivity. Very best functions embody increase lifts, scissor lifts, and compact loaders and excavators.
Most producers of cell elevating work platforms (MEWPs) utilise AC induction motor (ACIM) techniques to drive the hydraulic pump powering the machine’s elevate operate. These motors are cumbersome and inefficient, and at present many MEWP producers are switching to newer SRPM know-how.
In comparison with ACIM, SRPM know-how gives increased torque, increased energy, and a extra compact design. The Editron PMI180 motor exemplifies this distinction, delivering higher effectivity and torque in a smaller envelope than typical AC induction motors. The PMI180 options hairpin windings, which additional improve motor energy density and effectivity in comparison with typical spherical wires.
The PMI180 motor encompasses a 15% smaller envelope than AC induction motors with the identical torque/energy. With an outer diameter of 180 millimeters, the PMI180 motor’s compact measurement simplifies machine integration. That is notably necessary in small electrical equipment through which the battery pack occupies many of the out there house, leaving little room for motors, inverters, hydraulics and different parts.
PMI180 gives 15% higher effectivity than AC induction motors. This increased effectivity extends the runtime of electrical equipment or permits using a smaller, cheaper battery pack to attain the identical runtime.
The strong design of the PMI180 permits the motor for use in harsh circumstances. The motor and connector characteristic an IP67 ranking, offering safety from mud, dust, and moisture ingress. The motor’s corrosion resistance has been validated in a 200-hour salt-spray take a look at, providing prolonged safety. Mixed, these options can improve the motor’s service life, even in excessive environments.
“Editron has lengthy been identified for its high-voltage electrification options. Now we’re strategically constructing out our low-voltage product traces to embody 24- and 48-volt options,” says Eric Wang, software engineering and portfolio supervisor, Editron China, Danfoss Energy Options. “PMI180 is constructed on superior know-how, a confirmed product growth course of, and a long time of mature, world manufacturing and high quality management, which implies the motor is just not solely state-of-the-art, but additionally extremely dependable and constructed to final.”
The Editron PMI180 motor encompasses a rated energy output of 7kW at 48-volts DC. Its rated pace is 3,000rpm and its most pace is 4,000 rpm. Rated torque is 22.5 Nm whereas most torque is 90Nm. It options a normal gear pump interface for connection to pumps as much as 16 cc at 240 bar. The PMI180 works with the EC-C48 inverter, which will likely be out there in 2026.
Along with the PMI180, the ED-DT180 eDrive will likely be added to the Editron 48-volt portfolio. The eDrive is a propel resolution for MEWPs and related off-highway autos that integrates an electrical motor, discount gearbox, and electromagnetic brake in a single compact package deal.
Designed to be essentially the most compact drive resolution available on the market, the eDrive simplifies machine integration whereas maximizing system effectivity and delivering a smoother driving expertise for operators. The 48-volt system joins the 24-volt system launched in 2024. With the provision of PMI180 and DT180, unique tools producers can create full propel and work operate techniques for electrical MEWPs.
